HELP! Can an object that is in motion have balanced forces? Explain your answer

Physics
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Newton's first law says that an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by an unbalanced force.

If an object in motion has balanced forces, it will stay in motion.  For example, if an object is falling at terminal velocity (for example, a parachuter), then the force of gravity is equal and opposite to the force of air resistance.  The forces are balanced, and the object continues to fall at a constant speed.

A ball is thrown vertically upward. As it rises, what happens to its total energy?.
diamong [38]

The total energy of a ball stays constant as it is thrown upward because potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases. When the ball reaches its maximum height, the velocity is zero. Therefore, only potential energy exists rather than kinetic energy.

The thrower's movement imparts kinetic energy to a ball thrown vertically. The maximum height that can be achieved after leaving the hand will depend on the actual velocity. Air resistance causes some of this energy to be lost to the air as frictional dissipation, which warms the air in the area as well as the ball's surface.

We can just talk about how the ball moves when it is in the gravitational field of the Earth if we ignore this for the purposes of this discussion. The ball's total energy as it is released is comprised of both its gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy, which result from the ball's velocity (due to its position).

The gravitational potential energy begins to rise as the ball moves vertically upward at precisely the same pace as it loses kinetic energy. The ball experiences a steady downward acceleration of 9.81 m/s2, which causes it to initially decline until it briefly comes to a stop at its highest point.

Due to its current position in the Earth's gravitational field relative to its initial position, all of the energy at this point is gravitational potential energy. As the ball experiences constant downward acceleration, its motion immediately becomes apparent in that direction because the acceleration easily transforms gravitational potential energy back into kinetic energy.

As a result, at every point along the trajectory, the total of these interchangeable forms of energy remains constant.

Suppose 1 kg of Hydrogen is converted into Helium. a) What is the mass of the He produced? b) How much energy is released in thi
morpeh [17]

Answer:

a) m = 993 g

b) E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J

Explanation:

atomic mass of hydrogen = 1.00794

4 hydrogen atom will make a helium atom = 4 × 1.00794 = 4.03176

we know atomic mass of helium = 4.002602

difference in the atomic mass of helium = 4.03176-4.002602 = 0.029158

fraction of mass lost = \dfrac{0.029158}{4.03176}= 0.00723

loss of mass for 1000 g = 1000 × 0.00723 = 7.23

a) mass of helium produced = 1000-7.23 = 993 g (approx.)

b) energy released in the process

E = m c²

E = 0.00723 × (3× 10⁸)²

E = 6.50 × 10¹⁴ J
